Gary in the Dark After Historic Storms | Chicago News

Gary, Indiana, is still reeling from last week’s devastating storms that left over 100,000 people without power — with more than 300,000 initially affected. NIPSCO, the local utility, is calling it one of its worst outages ever, with most residents expected back online by Tuesday and the rest by Friday. Downed trees and broken lines have left streets dark and traffic lights inoperable, forcing locals to adapt — some using candles and coolers, others relying on neighbors for well water and supplies. Tragically, seven Indiana residents lost their lives in the storm. But amid the hardship, community spirit shines bright as neighbors rally to share resources and support each other through the darkness — all while bracing for more rain later this week.
